Cleveland might make Chicago 1968 look like a clambake...

...if the assholes in the GOP "establishment" really do descend from Mt Bullshit and try to deny Trump the nomination. We'd possibly see something unprecedented in US history--blood and even corpses inside a nominating arena. I'd be horrified by this--and, to be really honest with myself, part of me would relish it. I'm a horrible person. Even if Trump wins relatively hassle-free, still--it'll be a convention *choreographed by Donald Trump*. It will make Goldwater and the Cow Palace, in 1964, look like a meeting of the local church's Ladies Book Club. I can't wait...LOL...

The GOP only have themselves to blame. Also, they are gun ho about guns but won't allow them at their convention. Hypocrite much, yes.

Why do you think Cruz and Kasich both dropped out quietly? There may be some rumbling about a no-Trump movement in the GOP but I think the PTB in the party decided to cut their losses and write off this election. That a Trump candidacy would be less embarrassing than a contested convention.
Hope I'm wrong.
